HTC One Google Edition ROMs?

Hey guys, I just purchased a Google Edition HTC One and I'm waiting to receive it from shipping. My question is can I flash ROMs from the HTC One international version? Im not exactly sure how the Google Edition is identified so I'm not sure if I'm suppose to be sticking to this forum section for international unlocked devices or AT&T version for instance.
I know that despite it is a Google Edition, if I recall correctly, it's just possibly an AT&T or T-Mobile variant. So I just wanted to know, if I am going to be flashing ROMs onto this Google Edition HTC One, which version of the phone I should be in for forum sections before I cause irreversible damage. I really want to get Paranoid Android or Revolt ROM onto it ASAP.
Thanks for any insight

So, this is the forum you want, go to original android dev in this forum, these roms are there but still waiting resources from google!!, if you are asking about sense roms, i think you will be able flash them once you achieve s-off and supercid

Is there a reason why I must stay specifically in original android development? The ROM I'm eyeing is in the android development section. I'm not looking for any sense ROMs. I love the stock experience with the ability to change DPI's on my apps. That's it. Sorry if I'm not understanding it all right away, so I will be in HTC One forum but cannot jump into android development section just yet? I don't get what you mean by resources from google.
quick side note question, is the google edition bootloader unlocked?
Thanks for the quick responses
edit: i just realized Revolt ROM 4+, the one I'm looking to load, is in android original development. didn't mean to confuse anyone.
Anyone have answer to my earlier questions?
I wonder why anyone would want to buy a Google search edition phone but all you simply have to do is flash an appropriate ROM on the normal HTC One.

To answer your question.. I'm sure you'll be able to flash any roms you would like...don't see a reason why not same hardware basically
You can flash roms from the international version make sure have the things that are required for the rom you like take a look around there's plenty already :laugh:
thanks.

[Q] Questions about the Google Edition

Hey guys I'm planning on buying an HTC one and I had a few questions about the GE version.
1. Where is the development? I can't find any recoveries or anything about the GE version.
2. Will sense roms be able to flash or since the bootloader is different that will cause incompatibility?
3. Do you think the resale value worse than say the AT&T version?
1. I don't understand that question.
2. Yes you can flash Sense ROMs.
3. I do not foresee things.

There is no official dev yet.
Sent from my HTC One
there isn't anyone witha shipped phone yet, and I seriously doubt many people on XDA would buy one. There's no reason to, the phone is identical hardware wise to the AT&T phone, software will leak for it, software always leaks.
Someone with an S-off phone can install the leaked RUU when it surfaces and convert their phone to the Google edition.
Thanks for the answers guys. I went ahead and bought a sense version.

[Q] Roms For HTC One Google Play Edition Question

Hello to all,
Point me in the right direction xda? I have an htc one gpe. I found instructions to root and unlock and will proceed eventually. But the question is if this is the appropriate forum for roms for my gpe. I'm interested in installing paranoid android. But will it or any other rom by the m7 version work on gpe? If it's not a t-mobile or att or sprint thread, then m7 should be compatible is what i'm thinking.
Regards,
Vic

When your bootloader is unlocked and you have custom recovery you can install whichever Rom you want...
Look for PA in original developement forum...
Good luck

HTC ONE M7 - Android 5.1 Lollipop ??? When?

Hi Guys
Do you know if HTC m7 will be updated to Lollipop 5.1, besides the GPE version?
I found it will only be available for Google play edition, is this true?
Regards everyone.
HTC M7 (Sense version) won't be updated to 5.1

Yup, this is true. The HTC M7 (Sense version) won't be updated to 5.1. Your best bet is to grab a custom ROM with 5.1 & Sense :victory:, otherwise you'll have to settle for GPE/AOSP Roms.
